Bruce Flooring Kennedale Solid Hardwood

Solid hardwood is the one floor you sand and refinish instead of replacing, which is why a good one can outlast everything else in the room.

In simple terms: Bruce Flooring Kennedale is genuine solid hardwood for the dry, above-grade rooms of a home. Because it is real wood all the way through, it is nailed down and can be refinished rather than replaced. Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

Here is what you are buying. It is maple, a fine, consistent grain that reads light and clean, suited to contemporary rooms. On the Janka hardness scale Maple sits around 1450, well above oak, so it resists dents and traffic very well. At a full 3/4 inch, it is solid wood all the way through, which means it can be sanded back and refinished several times over its life and recoloured if your style changes, a floor that can outlast the rest of the room. Plank widths run from 3 1/4 inch up to 5 inch, so you can keep it traditional and narrow or go wide-plank and contemporary.

Worth saying plainly: solid hardwood and standing moisture do not mix. Skip it in basements, full baths, and over most in-floor heating, and let it acclimate to your home first. Those rooms are where engineered hardwood earns its place.

Decision line: Kennedale sits in the practical middle for hardness, which is why oak and maple floors like it are the default for most main-floor living areas.

Our own installers handle Bruce Flooring Kennedale from the subfloor moisture check to the final trim, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County, with no subcontractors. See how we work on the hardwood installation page, or look through our projects.

Grain and stain read differently across a full floor than in a sample, so it is worth seeing Kennedale in person at either showroom. contact us to check current stock, or browse the full hardwood flooring range. See more Bruce Flooring options on our Bruce Flooring page.
